Internet Archive has regional digitization centers in 32 locations and 8 countries. Our teams digitize over 1500 eBooks per day. We also have the capability to digitize archival items, bound and single sheet items, thesis, periodicals, microform and other items with our non-destructive, color process. We have worked with over a thousand library partners who have allowed their content to be digitized.

You may also visit OpenLibrary.org to use our "free for the public" eBook Lending library. Originally created to benefit the print disabled community, readers all over the world may now enjoy for free, hundreds of thousands of modern books and millions of public domain, library-curated eBooks.

To see examples of some wonderful archival materials digitized by the IA, please visit Archival Collections.

If you would like to learn more about Open Libraries, our project with a goal of making 4 million books available online for educational use, please join the 1,000+libraries and the 51 United State Chief Operating Librarians who are members of our free modern eBook lending library.

1. Video Tour: what a digitization center looks like!.
2. IA Digitization Services: a one-page, top line overview of the global digitization program.
3. The Process: a more verbose, detailed guide to the technical side of the digitization and quality assurance process.
4. Metadata: once a new collection is set up and digitization is ready to proceed, IA uses a tool called Partner Meta App to capture the metadata that is digitally attached to the digitized images
5. Get in Touch! After connecting with their most local digitization manager/center, partners will be asked for some information about the institution, material to be digitized and a short agreement will be drafted. This request form will come directly from the digitization manager and be completed before shipping material. Please see the list above for contact information or if in doubt, digitallibraries@archive.org.

We look forward to helping you move your analog items into the digital public domain!
